“Three Passes trek adventure - amazing experience!”

My boyfriend and myself completed Three Passes trek in October'16. Everything was organised flawlessly right from the start. The hotel in Kathmandu was lovely and we really enjoyed welcome dinner in the traditional Nepalese restaurant we were taken to by company manager, Paras. Also loved the day tour around Kathmandu Valley. On the trek we were looked after our guide Hari and our porter, Rai. Both couldn't do enough for us. Hari would always get us the best rooms available in a tea house and made sure we have everything we need, offering extra blankets etc. We would discuss our trekking plans daily and he was very flexible, offering advice on what's best and always accommodated our request (weather wasn't spoiling us in the first week). Very friendly, cheerful, polite and always had our best interest at heart. We had so much fun! We didn't have to worry about anything and could just enjoy amazing Himalayan scenery and Hari would tell us more about the culture and the mountains. I should also mention that even before we landed in Nepal, Paras would always respond to the multitude of questions I had via email and was extremely helpful. We are thinking of going back to Nepal to do some more challenging climbs and we will definitely be using Imperial again. They're very reliable and I'm sure we will be in good hands. We're very grateful to Paras for making sure this was an unforgettable experience for us and we're looking forward to another adventure with Imperial Nepal Treks! 762agnieszka Edinburgh, United Kingdom Visited October 2016 Visit Product: Everest 3 High Pass Trek

“Stupendous EBC Trek - 13 days”

The whole experience dealing with Imperial trek was amazing, be it before, during and after the trek. We had a lot of questions before booking the package and all the questions were answered patiently and professionally by Ram thru email's and mobile apps. Ram and Paras were very honest and professional .We were very happy with their assignment of HARI as our guide.HARI was excellent, he was very informative, helpful and caring throughout our hike.His selection of Tea houses during our hike is good. HARI planned the Tea house stop overs very well. The Porters (Bishan & Koirala) were also excellent like the HARI, they were very helpful through out the trek. We will recommend Imperial Nepal Treks and their team (RAM, PARAS & HARI) to all. khaukhau Visited October 2016 Visit Product: Everest Base Camp Trekking

“Excellent 13D EBC Trek”

We were taken care of through out our trip by our guide, Hari, and our porters were really efficient. The described items and services in the itinerary exceeded expectations and we were really pleased. Food and lodging at tea houses were pleasant. It was a wonderful expedition and we would definitely consider Imperial Nepal Treks for a subsequent expedition. Syn K

“3 high passes from Jiri”

Trek in total 27 days out of which 24 of walking. Excellent trek, distance 230 km, 14,5 km uphill/downhill - phisically very demanding. First part Jiri-Paiya highly recommended for those who want to see real life and landscape in Nepal, with very few trekkers doing the same trek, which helps to know each other, through the villages, fields, forests of rhododentrons (imagine how it should look like in spring while blooming ...), not commercially spoiled, for lodgekeepers you are rather a guest than a client. Joining the stream of trekkers after Lukla was quite disapointing experience after first 6 days ... Our trek was organised very well - everything according to what was agreed and declaired by the Agency. Many many thanks to Paras who organised everything for us perfectly!

“Our Wonderful Trip to EBC”

Our trip to Nepal in September 2016 was absolutely amazing!! My husband spoke to Paras at Imperial Nepal Trekking. He was very professional and organized everything for us. Hiking in the Himalayas was so beautiful, and we felt very safe knowing that we were with a first class operation. Sujan was our guide. He was always calm, helpful, caring and so nice. He also liked playing cards with us in the evening. There were six of us in the group climbing to EBC. I was having trouble keeping up with the other climbers. However, I was never alone. Sujan would stay with me or the assistant guide named Narayan who was wonderful as well. We highly recommend Imperial Nepal Trekking. They are the best!! We hope to climb Annapurna in the near future, and we look forward to seeing our team again!! Steven Dickman and Elyse Dickman New York, USA Email: [email protected] Mobile number: 9735706446

Great excursion with excellent guides! We had very good time, and we are very satisfied. It was our first time in Nepal, and we definitely want to come back, and definitely use Imperial travel agency services. Highly recommended!

“Annapurna Circuit Trek - Thanks IN, for making it possible”

Completed the 19-day trek on Annapurna Circuit Trek two weeks' ago with guide and porter from Imperial Nepal. Really appreciated your meticulous planning and communication before I arrived in Nepal, and accommodated my dietary requirements throughout. The guide and porter observed safety and stayed close to me throughout the trek. They were patient and supportive as my muscles warmed up in the initial days of the trek. When we crossed Thorung La Pass at 5,400m which was no mean feat, they stayed very close on the ascent, were very encouraging and took precautions like leaving early so that we had ample time to cross the pass in calm weather conditions. Recommend Imperial Nepal for solo traveller like myself or group travellers. Kudos to the team and thanks for leaving me with wonderful memories!

“Everest Base Camp Trek”

We chose Imperial treks for our EBC trek. It was a twelve day trek from Lukla to EBC return, though we did spend a couple of extra days in Lukla for weather. So if you are considering this trek ensure you have a few extra days up your sleeve for poor flying conditions to and from Lukla. We did find all the Staff professional, helpful, patient and very informative. Our group found it a great experience and we would highly recommend these guys to anyone that's considering the EBC trek. We would also like to commend Paras and Babu again for their excellent service. timmyvenny Bunbury, Australia Visited September 2016 Visit Product: http://www.imperialnepaltreks.com/itinerary/everest+base+camp+trekking-228/

“Fantastic trek through the Himalayas”

Our trek tour was over a week and we managed to see beautiful views throughout our hikes. If you're new to hiking in the Himalayas then I highly recommend going with Imperial Nepal Treks as you feel safe in their hands, especially due to the altitude its a great way to travel. Our trek was moderately hard and I believe anyone can do this trek as you followed paths the whole time. Ask your trek guide about the hot springs and order the Dhal Bhat to enjoy an authentic Nepalese meal! enyamae2016 Adelaide, Australia Visited: September 2016 Visit Product : http://www.imperialnepaltreks.com/itinerary/budget+annapurna+base+camp+trek-219/

“ ABC, a memorable trek”

I was supposed to to EBC last year but last min mother nature threw in a quake and I could not do it. Ram was very kind to allow me reuse the advance I had paid and this year I went to do EBC. But this time bad weather prevented any flights to EBC so thanks to Ram and Mani last min we changed it to ABC. ABC was just amazing out of the world experience for me which was enhanced by my capable compatriots Mani and Sudeep, Infact I have 2 daughters one Mani's age and another Sudeep's age. So perfectly fit in as a family and they took good care of the old man that is me :-). As all old cranky codgers I took my tile to get ready, walked slowly and complained often about my gas problem, prostrate, weak knees .. endless but poor Mani took it all and kept me going. I really appreciate his patience. What I most liked about him was he was always right behind me to help me when I lost my footing but he never advised me how to hike, That is the best part so he was never a nag but a patient guide. Sudeep the kid was amazingly strong and I have promised him next time I shall not bring half of my wardrobe :-). We danced, palyed cards and exchanged philosophical musings all the 10 days. I miss Annapurna my compatriots Mani, Sudeep and ofcourse their chief Ram, agvardha Mysuru (Mysore), India Visited September 2016 Visit Product: http://www.imperialnepaltreks.com/itinerary/annapurna+base+camp+trek-161/

“EBC 9 Day Trek - Highly Recomended”

I did an Everest BC Trek with Imperial Nepal in Mid August with Imperial Nepal Treks and was very happy with the level of service and guidance provided. The tour guide Dinesh and the porter Lakpa were both very professional, helpful and friendly. if you are reasonably fit, the 9 day trek is fantastic. if you prefer to have a few extra rest and acclimatization days then go for a 12-18 day trek.

reat track through Annapurna region”

We had a great 8 day track in the Annapurna region. We also was some days in the Chitwan National Park. Everything was well organized by Imerpial Nepal Private Tours. It was perfect from the first till the last day. The perfect thing for us was, that it was possible to get an indviduel planed Tour. If we will come back to Nepal, we will definitly plan our stay with Imperial Nepal Private Day Tours again.
